Laptop + charger

This doesn't really involve arch,but my old charger died,so i got myself a replacement from a mate,the funny thing is that i don't think it's charging my battery,just working as an adapter.

i tried
acpi -abt

 Battery 0: Unknown, 3%
Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 44.5 degrees C

Any ideas?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, My laptops input is 19.5v 4.62A, the charger is 19v 3.95A. I've used a 19.5V 3.XX A charger before,it worked. Btw i'm 100% sure that my battery is not dead.

Re: Laptop + charger

You are better off buying a new adapter for your laptop make and model. Your warranty will get void if you use any unapproved adapters in case your friend's adapter fries your battery or anything else.
